sailorhathorThey just announced the cast of "Skating with the Stars" on ABC and I can't believe - VINCE NEIL!!??? Vince Neil?!?!!? It's so funny and awesome at the same time! XD I can't wait to see if he constantly falls on his face or actually does a good job. I'm surprised they didn't have Bret Michaels on there to compete with him, the way those two promote themselves on the reality shows now. OH how my misspent childhood listening to metal has come back to haunt me on TV...
Some thoughts on the last ep of Supernatural, "You Can't Handle the Truth." SPOILERS FOR SPN EP "You Can't Handle the Truth":
- It was a decent ep. Nothing incredibly special, but I didn't hate it.
- Poor Jane. (I think that was her name.) She was kinda cute in an odd way and everyone said such mean things to her.
- I'm glad Lisa came to her senses after what happened. One thing she said struck a bit of a cord with me, and that's the part about, "I'm close to my sister, but I wouldn't bring her back from the dead." Spoken like a true non-hunter. That's one of the dangers (and maybe perks?) of being "in the know" about the supernatural - sometimes you can use it to benefit you in ways that no regular person would even know how to do. Occupational hazard. Of course, such power can corrupt or even drive you insane, but I think many, many people would bring loved ones back from the dead if they knew how. I think Lisa's comment there was a little unfair. In ways, she did and didn't understand that Sam is the most important person in Dean's life and always will be. But at least she knew that as soon as Sam showed up, it was over, Dean was going back to hunting. I'm not sure she entirely understood just how much Dean's upbringing fucked him up and tied him to Sam forever.
- The scene between Dean and Castiel was delightful for so many reasons. :D Cas pouring Dean more alcohol without even having to be asked, it was WTF and funny at the same time. It's like Cas can anticipate what Dean needs before Dean even knows. More fun angel popping in and out of the room shenanigans. Whoosh, whoosh! Where is Castiel? Hello Dean! I'm a little tired of Dean being like, "Help me, Castiel! Do what I want, now! I don't even care what you've got going on!" It's an in-character attitude, one that Dean has had since the beginning, but it's wearing a bit thin at this point. I want Castiel to call him on it again. (Calling him on it being him reminding Dean what he's done for him when he wanted the amulet, and the time when Cas beat him up.) And of course, Castiel being the Winchester puppy that he is, agrees to try to help Dean with Sam. It's sweet and makes me feel for Cas at the same time because he wants to please Dean so badly, even though he has much more pressing issues to deal with.
- I was a bit shocked with Veritas being portrayed as the one trick pony plot this show abuses too much, she's an evil pagan goddess that eats people! Bet you didn't see that coming. 9_9 They've only done it more times than the "Dean thinks he's right about everything and wonders if there's Something Up with Sam since he doesn't agree" plot. I mean, come on. A Roman goddess of truth = monster that eats people? I get that it's a horror show, but COME ON. Okay, am I missing something? Are there stories about Veritas slaughtering people/demanding human sacrifice that I'm just not finding on the internet? The thing is, they could have done the same basic plot without the people-eating. I could have bought a goddess that eats the tongues of liars. It wouldn't have offended me. But that plot bugged me, especially since they fall back on it whenever they can't think of anything else to do to make their show scary.
I mean, seriously, there are plenty of gods and goddesses who have horrific stories associated with them. Use them! I love the stories about Hathor, especially the one where she becomes Sehkmet and destroys half of humanity in a lust for carnage. Sound anything like something SPN might like to explore? Hey, Show! Most of your mythology comes from Christianity - how about portraying more of the horrors of the Bible in modern times?
And what was with the cat/dog stuff? Who ever heard of a GODDESS who can be killed with dog's blood? That was just goofy.
- I have to admit, I wanted Dean to give Sam a big hug before he punched the shit out of him. I get why Dean punched the shit out of him, because the things Sam had done could have gotten Lisa and Ben killed, but whenever Sammy begs for help and does that lost little puppy dog look, I just go, "Awwww, hug 'im, Dean!"
**SPOILERS FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE** I'm disappointed with what they revealed about Sam's problem in the preview. A bunch of fans guessed that Sam was acting the way he was because he had lost his soul somewhere. And, it turns out that Sam has been acting funny because he has lost his soul somewhere. Don't you hate when that happens? Look in the freezer, Sam! It's always in the weirdest place! "Hey, look! I found my keys... AND SAM'S SOUL!" :P I wanted it to be something new and exciting and hard to guess. :( I never liked the idea that a character can walk around without their soul and still be animate. I never liked it when they did it on Buffy, and those were vampires. (Although, there were many others things to love about Buffy, so I was able to overlook it. It still bugged me at times, though. Even though vampires are like walking dead, I still think there should be something in there.) It doesn't make sense to me. If your body is walking around, talking and interacting with people, there's gotta be something in there. Soul, angel, demon, something. Either that or it's animated by a necromancer/voodoo priest/you're some form of zombie or revenant. If Sam has no soul, he should be in a coma, dead, or under someone else's control. Yes, I know it's silly to set rules for something that isn't possible (???), but those are my personal rules and I'm sticking to them. Is it going to make me stop watching the show? No. But it will make me grumble.
The preview made up for it all by showing CORIN YAAAAAAAAY CORIN'S IN THIS WEEK'S EPISODE WEEEEEEEEEE!! Dear Christian, Don't get killed. Please be developed before the writers kill you off since they don't seem to know how to do anything else with their half-baked characters. Same goes for you, Gwen. Mark, come back from the dead. Kthanx. **SPOILERS END**
The job is going fine. It would be better if we weren't going live with the calls soon and I wasn't so goddamn BORED with customer service. X_x God I HATE IT.
